I wonder how many of them voted for Obama? Elections have consequences...

No one appears to have benefitted more than companies owned or controlled by Stewart Resnick, a Beverly Hills billionaire, philanthropist and major political donor whose companies, including Paramount Farms, own more than 115,000 acres in Kern County.
Resnick’s water and farm companies collected about 20 cents of every dollar spent by the program.
Those companies sold $30.6 million of water to the state program, participated as a partner in an additional $16 million in sales and received an additional $3.8 million in checks and credits for sales through public water agencies, documents show.
“For a program that was supposed to benefit the environment, it apparently did two things — it didn’t benefit the environment and it appears to have enriched private individuals using public money,” said Jonas Minton, a water policy adviser to the Planning and Conservation League, a California environmental advocacy group.
Representatives of Resnick’s farm and water companies did not respond to repeated requests for interviews. A woman who answered the phone at the Resnick’s holding company last week said, “We don’t talk to the press. It’s company policy.” She transferred the call to a company official who did not respond for an interview request.
I’ll tell you why, because feminism has raised a nation of wimps. This nation was founded on less than whats going on now, arms were taken up, a revolution was begun... but we are afraid... same reason only one plane fought back on 9/11. We have become complacent, soft, tv watching, video game playing, weaponless, complacent frogs in the pot. We are finally seeing a glimmer of life from a few..but not nearly enough.. we will never vote corruption away, and we need to stop hoping that we will..not when the Republicans are just as bad as the Dems.. if you aren’t willing to actually fight for this country, you shouldn’t be here.
I can see a silver lining in all of this, at least the Muslim invasion will get NOTHING, for WE HAVE SALTED THE EARTH.
You need to rent Chinatown.
“I was furious beyond words watching this tonight.”
I can’t imagine the emotions on the farmer’s side of things in this. This needs to become a central rallying point for the Tea Partiers!
I mean, why worry about food production or small businesses when the future of a non-native guppy is at stake!
Big changes coming in 2010!

Last year around Atlanta the man-made lakes (no natural ones in GA) which provide all potable water were drying up despite court-mandated release of much of the remaining water just to keep the Purple Bank-Climber Mussels (I kid you not) downstream happy (they survived droughts before without our help). Lotsa words thrown around, but nothing physical happened.
I kept wondering what was going to happen when four million rednecks couldn’t flush.
Pretty soon golden geese will be endangered..
America will have no more golden geese to lay any golden eggs..
People are not up in arms, because they are the frog in the slowly boiled pan of water.
This is what communism/socialism/PC-ism is doing to our country.
Which leads to two questions.
1) Where's Walter Duranty?
2) Where's Beria?
...and a third one.
What is the take of the Congressional and Senatorial delegations of California on this?
Need a photoshop of the ubiquitous Shephard Fairey poster of Obama, which reads not "Hope" but "Stalin".
By not turning the water on, they have a slim chance.
